Pros

Thuram is surprisingly quick. His acceleration and sprint speed allow him to break away from defenders and make dangerous runs moving forward

His strong foot is deadly, boasting high shot power, long shots, and volleys. Inside or outside the box, if he gets space, he can unleash powerful and precise shots.

He naturally finds himself in the right attacking areas, making him a reliable target for through balls and crosses.

At 6’4”, he’s a nightmare for defenders. He dominates aerial duels, holds off challenges, and can outmuscle most center-backs.

His physicality makes him ideal for a target man role, shielding the ball and bringing others into play.

Cons

4 star weak foot, while decent, it's not top-tier. He can finish with his weaker foot, but under pressure, he’s more predictable since most players will prefer his strong side.

3 star skill moves is a major downside if you rely on skill moves, making him less versatile for technical players.

Despite his pace, his agility and balance aren’t elite, meaning he might feel heavy when turning or under pressure. Quick defenders can catch up if he doesn’t get a clean run.

Alternatives

Final Verdict

If you need a pure finisher and physical presence up front, Thuram is a fantastic option. His speed, positioning, and power make him lethal in direct attacking play. However, if you rely on skill moves or agile dribbling, he might not be the best fit. Consider using him in a two-striker formation alongside a more agile partner to maximize his strengths.
